This is a petition for a board dedicited to a board for the GLTB members on these forums, which there is quite a lot of, and we think the boards would go down a treat.

At the mo there is just a single thread with all the different topics getting threw about at once which makes for difficult reading and puts some members off from reading and posting in it and certain important topics manage to get lost in the process.

So come all put down your name and hopefully the powers to be aka the lovely mods and admins here will take this on board .

Name 1 - George83
Name 2 - Cors

Note from your lovely Main Board Mod....

It really isn't up to us lovely ones to decide on these things. We're basically just the keepers of the peace, hostesses, ringmasters and general clean up crew here at Dims. Adding another forum is at the complete discretion of the Webmaster himself. It would probably be best if you approach him privately about your desire to add a forum.

And just a piece of advice - don't address him as a "lovely one" . I'm not sure it would help your cause.

... and if this attempt to start a new board fails as miserably as my attempt to start a FA board did, you are more than welcome to become a member of my club and join me in my unrelenting crusade of taunting the webmaster!

i was wondering why there was not an Fa board.. cause then we could get to say all sorts of pervy things without reprimand!!

Actually, I'm gonna go ahead and edit that, since once again, my imagination has led me to weirdness.

When I think of the word petition, I think of some sort of opposition where a petition would be needed to prove that enough people are for something to overthrow that opposition and since I don't think Conrad has said anything about it either way .. I guess a PM would be a good idea .. however I wanted to put it out there that I think a forum like this would actually be a great idea and addition.

Reason: ahhhhhh

But a petition is more fun , it's not really a petition as such but a list of names to see if there is enough intrest to see if I should bother to contact the webmaster.

Keep the names coming anyway .

A poll would be better, and less in-yo-face to Conrad. Polls can be done with names attached, so it has the same result without the appearance of being confrontational or demanding. Save the petitioning for one of those off-site services... people can't keep up with the names here anyway.

Also... the concept of polling here could do with a bit of cleansing anyway, so that would be another benefit to your credit. It would be really nice to see a popular AND positive poll here, knowwhaddamean?

Suggestion - make more threads. Put "GLBQT" (or any derivation thereof) in each title. More threads = more need for a forum. I'm not saying to make shit up just to fill space, but if content is there - don't wait for a new forum to post it.

hmm.. i dont know how to make polls.. Ahh,, i know what you mean about the word "petition" ..ok this is just a "list" of people who think the idea would be good. If no one actually wanted or thought there was a need for a qlbt forum then there would be no point in asking..it seems that quite a few people think it would be a good idea though..

I'm happy to support this effort, but I'm curious, is it really necessary? How are the issues with fat sex any different if you're gay? Or am I totally missing the boat?

maby there are some queer issues that need their own board.. off the top of my head all i can think of is plus sized dildo's but i'm sure there are more political and emotional things too that the queer community on dims would like to discuss on their own forum.

On the one hand, I think these issues should be talked about here, where they are within the general sphere of things talked about at Dimensions (and that is a very large sphere! no play on words intended).

On the other hand, I wonder if they really need a seperate board? Is there a reason that they should not be talked about alongside straight/heterosexual/etc issues? Especially given that so many things overlap. Gay female FA and male FA may admire the same bodies, fat transexuals and other fat people will face similar size issues, and so on.

So I'm not against it. If it gets created I'm sure I'll be lurking around it and find things to say occasionally. I'm just not sure that an additional board like this is needed. But I guess if those who would most use it feel that it is, then it probably is.
